    Do you feel like you are constantly missing out on the latest software, technique, or skill?

Our profession is deeply impacted by information technology, which innovates and changes at a lightning fast pace, as well as wealth accumulation, which may soon include a trillionaire’s list. Join Jen Filla for a grounding talk on how to stay current when there’s too much to know and how to identify the most important skills you need for career growth.
